• Make like mixologist Jim Meehan of PDT and Audrey Saunders of Pegu Club and spray them into cocktails, or use them to make your best dishes better, just like Michelin-starred chef Daniel Patterson.

 Salt and pepper are always by your side in the kitchen, as they should be -- but there’s a new seasoning essential you should consider. Chef’s Essence Sprays from Aftelier Perfumes are like your new flavor pinch hitters. Use them to add pure flavor and aroma to any food or beverage with a single spray of the finest pure all-natural essences from around the world. Boost the intensity of ingredients like powdered ginger or fresh basil, or substitute for out-of-season herbs or unavailable spices. And all you need is a drop. Before you know it, you’ll be using these in every meal.
 

About Aftelier Perfumes
When she’s not working with celebrity chefs and writing books with them on the connection between fragrance and food, award-winning perfumer Mandy Aftel can be found hand-blending natural, non-synthetic essential oils in her sunny California studio. Focusing on the complexity and depth of her final product has earned her national acclaim in restaurants, home kitchens -- and in our favorite bars, too.
